Draken stood on the same spot in silence after hearing Kai's words. Draken had no idea of what happened to him that made him awaken a whole new Talent.
All he remembered was he attempting suicide, then waking up the next day on his bed. Draken had concluded that his suicide attempt might have just been a dream and didn't actually happen since it wasn't possible for him to escape death like that unless he had a strong Talent.
How then was he able to reawaken the ability? And the Talent wasn't the same as the rest of the Talents he had seen. There had never been a case where someone could view his talent stats like a video game and also increase their stats and unlock new abilities like a game. Or was there?
"Look, I am not here to boss you around or threaten you in any way, no. I only want to know, and maybe help," Kai added since the teenage boy just remained in the same position mute.
"Help? You want to help me?!" Draken questioned in a high pitched tone.
"Well, yeah, if you actually need one, though." Kai responded.
"The only way for a human to get a second reawakening is if they manage to reach the peak of their old Talent, then awaken a fresh one. Also, there is also another way since you don't look like someone who reached the full potential of his talent, I assumed you followed the other route."
"What other route?" Draken inquired with a puzzled expression.
"It means you either swore an oath, or you have a High ranked Chaos object with you that must have triggered for some reason." Kai responded, moving closer to Draken, his two hands still in his pocket as he moved forward.
"But judging by how you still have control over your body, I guess you didn't swear an oath, meaning you have a Chaos object in your possession."
Draken remained mute, trying to digest Kai's words. “I don't remember having a Chaos object. Wait..wait..hold on..the circular object Master Jang gave me, where is it?” Draken pondered, placing his hand in his pocket but couldn't feel the object where it used to be.
"Looking for something? If you are looking for the Chaos Object, it must have vanished the moment you reawakened." Kai remarked after noticing Draken searching his pocket.
"Stop saying Chaos Energy! Stop enjoying it! I don't use Chaos energy, and I didn't swear an oath." Draken voiced. "I was only looking for the heirloom Master Jang passed down to me on his dying bed."
"Master Jang?" Kai questioned with a serious look.
"Yes, he gave me an object when he was about to die. He said when the time is right, I will figure out just what it is..." Draken paused in his words as the whole thing now seemed to make sense to him.
"It must have been the object Master Jang gave you. It is either a high graded Chaos object, or probably something powerful to cause a second reawakening," Kai stated.
"Return back to your dorm room and search thoroughly, if you don't find the object, then you truly had a second reawakening. This is Hilarious. It's one in a million.”
Draken nodded his head as he began to run off immediately. "Also,when you are back we will discuss about your punishment for hurting Matthew!" Kai shouted as Draken ran off.
“There is no doubt, the academy would execute him once they find out his secret, since it is under the Talent Academy rule to execute both the Chaos energy users and also the reawakened, for they are dangerous.” Kai intoned with a worried expression.
***
Draken rushed back to his dorm room immediately and began to search around for the round object. He pulled out his drawer, checking his second trouser pocket, under the bed, but it was nowhere to be found.
After searching for several minutes, Draken collapsed on his bed and was panting heavily. "It's gone," Draken uttered, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
"Mr Kai did say that the Chaos Object would trigger under a certain circumstance. It must have been activated when I jumped off the roof last night. I guess that wasn't a dream after all," Draken intoned as he slowly connected the dots.
"Come to think of it, was it truly a Chaos object? Or something else entirely? Because there is no way Master Jang was a Chaos User."
TIRING!!

While Draken was in the middle of his thoughts, a familiar holographic screen popped up right in front of him. Draken quickly guessed that it must be the rewards he got after defeating Jobe and the rest.
Out of curiosity, he clicked on it.

Draken's eyes scanned through the screen with a pleased expression. Of Course, he knew the system would reward him, he just never expected it to be this grand.
The new abilities looked quite handy and would be very useful in a fight. To confirm the rest of the rewards, Draken called out for the system interface.

KNOCK* KNOCK*
While Draken was busy examining the screen, a knock on the door snapped him back to reality. Swiftly making his way forward, Draken opened the door.
"Mr Draken. You are called by the school's authority!" A reasonably large man informed me in a deep tone.
Draken glanced at the reasonably large man in front of him with a puzzled expression.”' Did Mr Kai go ahead and inform the authorities about him getting a second reawakening?' That was Draken's thought while staring at the man who had looks of disdain etched on his face."Uhm..yeah, sure," Draken responded, stepping out of the room and shutting it."This way please." The man stated, leading the teenage boy away.Draken stood there on the spot for a few seconds before following him behind.***Few minutes of walking, the man finally stopped in front of an office Draken recognized very well. The Headmaster's office. The same office he went to several times and complained about bullying, but no one paid attention."He is waiting for you," The man said, ushering Draken in. Draken gave a nod before pushing the door open and stepping in.The office was well arranged with lots of modern designs here and there, and a total of four individuals inside already.Sitting comfortable on his chair w
SUPER HERODraken sat in the dimly lit basement with his back leaned on the wall and a homographic screen floating in front of him.“20 attribute points,” Draken mused with his finger rubbing his chin and his eyes glued to the screen. If he wanted to go hunting, then he needed to be stronger than he currently was. He has twenty extra points, and needed to distribute them wisely and not make one lacking.If he was to put all his points in his strength, and encounter a monster that is fast and agile, he would die within seconds. And if he should place the points in just speed and he should encounter a monster with massive strength, he would meet his doom.“Hmm..should i distribute it equally? But if I do, that won't be much of a boost. I need to be much more stronger than my current self,” Draken pondered in contemplation.STRENGTH: 20SPEED: 5AGILITY: 5BRAVERY:5REFLEX: 5[STRENGTH + 10] [STRENGTH 30][AGILITY + 4] [AGILITY 9][SPEED + 3] [SPEED 8][REFLEX + 3] [REFLEX 8]After sever
"Here we go." Draken intoned, walking into the hole and got transported beyond the wall instantly. Draken glanced around the foreign environment, it looked foreign to him since it was his first time there.The place looked like a ruined city, the smell erked of abandonement with lots of skyscrapers all around that were already destroyed and at the brink of collapsing. The floor was filled with debris and lots of stones from the crumbled buildings.There were different streets that led to different hunting routes, and also the sound of hungry, deadly and evil monsters roaring and growling filled the place."This place is more strange than I anticipated," Draken mused while sweeping his gaze through the ruined city. While Draken was busy examining the place, he began to hear footsteps from behind prompting him to turn around.All he saw were four individuals that consisted of two guys and two ladies, all equipped in high graded Monster Armours, and different weapons strapped behind the
It happened right after Draken finished hunting the monsters..."SlYSTEM OVERHAUL COMMENCING...""THE SYSTEM WILL UNDERGO ALTERATIONS...""YOU WILL RETAIN YOUR PREVIOUS ABILITIES AS PASSIVES...""ALTERATIONS DONE, YOUR SYSTEM HAS EVOLVED.""YOU WILL BE TRANSMIGRATED INTO A NEW REALITY." "THE MORE ACHIEVEMENTS YOU GATHER, THE MORE YOU CAN TRAVEL THROUGH OTHER REALITIES." "COMMENCING TRANSMIGRATION..." "YOU WILL RETAIN YOUR NAME, AND REGAIN THE MEMORIES OF YOUR NEW HOST BODY..." "What the?" Draken didn't have time to react, he was suddenly engulfed by a bright gold light. The next thing he knew, he was in a different place...By unlocking achievements, he would be able to obtain and upgrade the corresponding skills."The f*ck! Why would this lousy system take me to a different world?"A few months later...Draken decided to play through with the whole thing, and using his skills, he managed to earn enough money to cater for himself.But the question as to what's next kept lurking.
Three days passed, and Draken gathered at his school along with his classmates. Yonkers First High School had a total of 863 students taking the college entrance exam this time, which was a big test for all the schools.The principal, standing on the high flag-raising platform, gave an encouraging speech before the exam. He reminded the students that going to Myriad Beast Mountain was a chance to see how well they'd been preparing for years.He told them that being a martial artist meant protecting others, not just fighting bravely. He suggested they think carefully if they weren't sure about that kind of life. Once inside Myriad Beast Mountain, even with emergency devices, rescue might not come right away, leaving their fate uncertain.He stressed the need for courage and determination, asking them to think again about their decision. Draken was surprised by the principal's advice, wondering why he would suggest giving up on the exam.However, it was normal when Draken thought about
Draken's reaction speed surpassed the others, possibly because of his transmigration status, even though they were all level 6 Martial Apprentices. With two lives under his belt, Draken possessed more life experience than regular high schoolers. Despite occasionally acting immaturely to trigger his achievement system, he remained vigilant.He noticed the green shadows emerging from the grass before anyone else and swiftly took action, especially when he realized they were targeting Nana, who had his back turned."Be careful!" Draken whispered, pushing Nana out of harm's way. Then, he swiftly employed his basic movement technique, his palms glowing red as he struck out with his fists.Utilizing the Diamond Dust Palm technique, Draken swiftly dispatched the green shadows, shattering their heads with precise strikes. The power of the Diamond Dust Palm was evident as the beasts fell simultaneously.Recognizing the creatures as jade snakes, Draken swiftly took action, a skill he had honed
The subordinate, drenched in sweat, rushed to explain, "We've just found out that the zone numbers don't match the ones we cleared previously...""What was H District originally assigned as?" the director's expression turned grim."J-J District," the subordinate replied weakly."J District?!" The director shot up from his seat, his voice filled with anger. "How could such a monumental mistake happen? What exactly are you all doing?!"Fuming, the director continued, "Do you realize the significance of J District? Do you understand the potential loss of life because of this error?""Director, w-we..." The subordinate's back was drenched in cold sweat. "This isn't entirely our fault. We cleared the examination area before the exam started. However, there seems to have been a subtle but significant geological shift in the secret realm of Myriad Beast Mountain afterward. The positions of the mountainside and the foot of the mountain seemed to have swapped. By the time we noticed, the exam
This time, not only Draken and York but also Nana and Raul, who were not academically inclined, were astonished.“This is... blood-red rice?” York ventured.In conventional terms, this was already considered a low-level heaven and earth treasure, albeit with a low rank. Its primary function was to enhance one's blood, and it had no usage restrictions; martial artists of any rank could partake. For Martial Apprentices like Draken, it was especially beneficial, akin to an experience potion.Typically found in secret realms, blood-red rice required absorbing the vitality of strong creatures to flourish. Its roots extracted flesh and blood essence to nourish itself, yielding rice with blood-strengthening properties. Given the frequent deaths in the secret realm, encountering blood-red rice occasionally was not unusual.However, the issue lay in the sheer abundance before them—not just a few stalks, but an entire field. Moreover, the field was meticulously tended, a neatly arranged square
The university admissions agents started arguing loudly.Draken stood there watching them fight over which of them would win him over to attend their school but deep inside, he was not interested.Draken had other ambitions. He didn’t want to take the normal journey anymore, as he had been through things none of them could bear.The homeroom teacher noticed and hurried over. "Draken, hurry and choose which school you want to attend!"The admissions agents quieted down and turned to Draken.Draken replied calmly, "Thank you for your offers, but I want to try to create my own academy into the top-ranked space for talents."Everyone fell silent.Draken had thought about this for a while and knew it was his goal. With his talent and strength, he felt he should aim for the best school in the country.The other admissions agents quickly tried to change his mind."Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?""Berserk College didn’t even send anyone to invite you. They don’t seem serious.""Th
When Gaffa announced Draken as first place, the entire room fell silent.Everyone thought they misheard, but recalling Draken’s performance, they realized it made sense.Class Two students cheered collectively.“Draken is amazing!”“He’s the pride of F-level talent!”“Number one in the entire state! Draken made a miracle happen!”The students in other classes had mixed emotions. They didn’t feel great knowing the top student was from another class.“Prepare for the second stage of the exam, now we will have a halftime break,” Gaffa said.The mages began to rest as they stopped their formations. The students returned to their classrooms to rest.Draken also went back to his class to rest. Many people approached him, curious about his strength improvement.“Draken, how did you get so strong?”“Yeah, how can an F-level talent improve so quickly? Any tips for us?”“I understand Draken comes from a low-income family and can’t afford good equipment and potions. He’s extraordinary to have im
Draken turned to Lord Luke and said, “The exam rules require me to accept the first two matches. If I win, I can choose whether to accept the next match.”“I also have the right to pick my opponent.”Lord Luke frowned and asked, “Are you saying you’re rejecting my challenge? Are you a coward?”Draken glanced at the black horse behind Luke. Using his Eye of Truth, he saw the horse’s stats.Night Spirit HorseAttack: 40Speed: 700Health: 930Mana: 100Defense: 200 The horse’s speed and health were impressive. Draken thought having this horse would make his travels easier. Although cars existed in this world, rare mounts like this were more valuable.Draken decided it would be great to have this horse. “Lord Luke, if you want to fight me, you must place a bet.”“If I win, I get your horse!”Luke clenched his teeth. The horse was his prized possession. How did it quit just like that? But he thought beating an F-level talent would be easy, so he agreed.“No problem, but what if you lose?
Draken activated his Split Claw skill, and in an instant, he destroyed all the vampire bats flying towards him!Everyone watching was shocked.“What just happened? Did he really kill all those bats in a split second?”“This doesn’t seem like F-level strength.”“These bats are Lord Nazzy’s strongest attack, and Draken just blew right through them!”Even Lord Nazzy himself was stunned. He knew how powerful his vampire bats were, and normal attacks wouldn’t usually harm them much.Lord Nazzy glanced at Draken and started to rethink Draken’s power. Seeing Draken’s sharp claws made him nervous. He realized he might not be able to beat Draken.Draken, not wanting to waste time, charged at Lord Nazzy. Seeing Draken rush at him, Lord Nazzy tried to run away, but Draken was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Draken was right in front of him.“Damn it. He’s too quick!” Lord Nazzy shouted in shock.“Didn’t you say you found me a grave?” Draken asked coldly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”Draken sa
Akpi was shocked by Draken’s words.He quickly backed away, trying to put some distance between them.“Why aren’t my attacks working?” Akpi wondered aloud.After thinking for a moment, he reassured himself, “You must have focused all your training on defense. That has to be it. Your attack, speed, and health must be much weaker than mine.”Confident once again, Akpi decided he could break through Draken’s defenses with his speed over time.Just then, Draken’s figure flickered and vanished!In a flash, Draken reappeared right in front of Akpi.Akpi’s eyes widened in disbelief. Draken’s speed was faster than his!Draken raised his right hand, which transformed into a powerful dragon claw. His muscles expanded, scales emerged, and five sharp claws gleamed menacingly.Akpi was stunned. How could such a fierce-looking dragon claw be considered the weakest F-level talent?Swallowing hard, Akpi stammered, “Bro, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things…”Draken remained calm. “I told you
Gaffa stood in the center of the formation and shouted, “Start now! Find your opponents! You have one minute!”Immediately, more than half of the male students in Class Two locked their eyes on Draken and moved toward him.One student rushed forward and yelled, “Draken! Let me be your opponent!”This made the others panic. They all wanted to face Draken and didn't expect someone to cut in line.“Draken, come and fight me. I’ll be gentle!”“Draken, we used to be friends. Let me have this opportunity!”“Grant me this opportunity, and I’ll make it up to you!”The scene was chaotic as everyone rushed toward Draken. He gave a faint smile, finding it ironic how they had just comforted him in class. Their hypocrisy was now clear.A quick-footed student reached Draken first. “I’m the first here. I’m Draken’s opponent. The rest of you are too late!” he announced proudly, thinking his ranking would improve easily.The others stopped, filled with regret.“This guy sure runs fast!”“I missed it.
Draken arrived just in time for the exams, causing his homeroom teacher to sigh with relief."Make sure you're prepared for the exams," the teacher advised."Given your abilities, you'll need to work extra hard.""Don't worry, I've prepared," Draken responded, and went into the classroom.His classmates offered words of encouragement."Draken, you can do it! Even though you're not the most talented, we can all see how hard you work. Don't give up. Some of us have even less talent, but we're still trying our best."Draken smiled and replied, "Thanks, everyone. Let's all aim for good results."The homeroom teacher then explained the new exam rules. The country was divided into two main branches: the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Culture.As more dangerous beasts appeared, the Ministry of War appointed a new head of the Ministry of Culture's education sector, a young military officer named Gaffa.Known for his strict and tough personality, Gaffa had made significant changes to the
Mikey looked at Draken in surprise. "Are you really a student?"Draken shrugged. "Why would I lie about that?"Mikey rubbed his forehead and exhaled deeply, realizing he had met a genius.He sighed with relief, glad about his decision at the auction.Then, he smiled brightly. "Draken, follow me. I'll take you to choose a golden skill stone tablet."Draken followed him without hesitation.Mikey took Draken to an ancient stone door which was had in it a modern scanner. Mikey walked in and was scanned, and the heavy door slowly opened, and a brilliant golden light shone from inside."Go in and pick a skill you like," Mikey said as Draken stoodon one spot.Draken walked in, and the golden light faded.Draken saw tall display cabinets filled with golden skill tablets. He felt overwhelmed, not knowing which one to choose.He thought about what abilities he needed next and found out that he did not have control skills.He spotted a control skill called [Uppercut], which seemed perfect for hi
Once Mikey from the Opus Deities made his bid, no one else continued.After confirming three times, the auctioneer announced that Mikey was the winner!“The auction’s winner is Sir Mikey of the Opus Deities!”“Let’s give Sir Mikey a big round of applause!”The applause was loud. Mikey had a strong reputation as a member of the Opus Deities.Everyone stood up and congratulated Mikey respectfully.Mikey paid them little attention and went straight to the second floor to Charlotte’s office.At that moment, Draken was sitting across from Charlotte in the office, handing over the 50 White Spirit Flowers.“I’ve finished the previous quest.”Charlotte counted the flowers, smiled, and said, “Everything looks good. I’ll transfer 100,000 to your account right away.”Draken nodded. With the new 100,000, he had a total of 160,000.The office door opened, and Mikey walked in.“Miss Charlotte, I won the auction.”He said this with a smile and then noticed Draken.“He… is Erebus?”Charlotte quickly
